Lu Village

March / April are the best times to see the bright yellow fields of rapeseed flowers surrounding villages in Anhui - and Lucun is one of those villages you can explore to enjoy an escape into nature. From Shanghai, you can take a high speed train to Huangshan North Train Station, which is only around 2.5-3 hours. Then, to reach Lucun Village, you can either take a bus from Huangshan North or hire a driver for the day. We decided to hire a driver for a day, at 350 RMB per day, to take us around a number of villages in the area. Lucun is located near Hongcun Village, so you could easily schedule in a visit to at least two or three villages in one day if you’re pressed for time. Lucun is one of the smaller villages, charming and tranquil, and is said to be around 1,000 years old. while strolling through, we saw locals simply getting about their day prepping meals, washing clothes or heading out into the fields to work. The surrounding areas was beautiful - with bright yellow fields surrounding the immediate area around the village, and huge rolling hills in the distance. 📍Lucun Village, Anhui Province, China Ticket Price: 50 RMB #unforgettableexperiences#historicculture#loveflowers#urbanexplorer#qingmingtravel

Lucun is only 2.5 kilometers away from the Hongcun scenic area. The most typical and characteristic feature of Lucun is the wood carving buildings, which embody the essence of Huizhou residential architecture and are known as the 'Number One Wood Carving Building in Huizhou'. The Lucun wood carving buildings consist of a complex of wood carving buildings made up of seven households, mainly including Zhicheng Hall, Siji Hall, Sicheng Hall, Glass Hall, and other residences. Lucun is nestled against the mountains and by the water, with a stream to the west of the village called Xia Men Creek, and a stream to the east called Front Street Creek, which converge to the south of the village to form the Fengzhan River. The residential houses on the east side of the village are built along the creek, with many extending out over the water, featuring open verandas, offering a unique charm. At the entrance to the village, there is a stone bridge called Si Che Bridge, which was built during the Song Dynasty. Next to the bridge, ancient trees reach up to the sky, and in the middle of the village, there is a water channel, an artificially constructed canal. It crosses the village from Xia Men Creek in the west, winding through the village, making the water channel clear and lively, and exits from the east end of the village, connecting to Front Street Creek. The babbling creek flows through the village... The wood carving art of the wood carving buildings is exquisite and delicate, with some using techniques such as shallow carving, deep carving, and openwork carving, creating richly layered patterns with a strong sense of three-dimensionality. For example, 'The Picture of Nine Old Immortal Deer', 'The Picture of Seven Sages in the Bamboo Forest', and various figures and animals such as the Eight Immortals are vividly portrayed, reflecting the superb skills and wisdom of ancient artisans. The Lucun viewing platform is located on a small hillside outside the village, from where you can overlook the entire panorama of Lucun. The vigorous old trees at the village entrance, along with the vast golden fields of rapeseed flowers, paired with the ancient Huizhou architecture of small bridges and flowing water, create an especially enchanting scene!

Yi County Lu Village is about 1km away from Hong Village, it is highly recommended to take a look! Lu Village is an ancient village mainly inhabited by the Lu family, with a history of over 1000 years. Two streams pass through the village, and you can just follow the stream to play. 📌Lu Village is not big, famous for its wood carving building, which is a representative of Huizhou wood carving. It was carved by two wood carving craftsmen hired by the rich merchant "Lu Baiwan" of the Qing Dynasty for 20 years. Among them, the wood carving of Zhicheng Hall is the most exquisite. 📌In addition to the beautiful scenery and wood carvings, the story of this "Lu Baiwan" and his six-room aunt is also a must-listen when you come to Lu Village, which is fascinating. 💡This time, when I was taking pictures on the bridge, a kitten ran over to my feet, which was very healing. There are really many small animals in Lu Village, and there are ducks swimming in the water. ⭐During the Spring Festival, you can collect stamps and check in at the scenic spot, and you can also get free admission with the arrival of Yi County high-speed rail ticket. The daily ticket is 50 yuan/person 💡ps. In about two months, the 800-acre rapeseed flower sea outside Lu Village is even more shocking.

Huizhou Treasure Ancient Village Lucun | An severely underestimated ancient village Lucun in Yi County, Huangshan, is a typical Huizhou ancient village with a history of thousands of years and is home to the Lu family. The characteristic of the ancient village is the group of wooden carved buildings built by the wealthy merchant Lu Baiwan for his six wives during the Qing Dynasty. The incredibly exquisite wood carvings took 20 years to complete. The Huangmei Opera 'Women of Huizhou' and the TV drama 'Into the Blue River' were filmed here. 🌟Highlights: The Zhicheng Hall in the wooden carved building group has three entrances, the front hall, the main hall, and the back hall, which are the places where Lu Baiwan's eldest and second rooms and parents live together. The carvings in the main hall are very beautiful, with eight doors and windows on each side. The upper half of the doors and windows are carved with delicate patterns, and the lower half are carved with auspicious patterns and historical legends. Look carefully for a pair of 'Horse on the Seal (Monkey)' on the left door and window, where a scholar on horseback meets a monkey, with a strong sense of three-dimensionality. From the side door of Zhicheng Hall, you can walk into the private school built by Lu Baiwan for his 24 children, then pass through the kitchen with many stoves, and arrive at the Siji Hall where the fifth concubine lives. The beautiful carvings on the winter melon beams and the official couch on the right side of the living room are worth noting. Then pass through the high and deep alley to the Sicheng Hall where the third and fourth rooms live. The dragon spring under the small piston on the ground, a pair of stone piers carved into bundles of bamboo, and the wooden barrel for heating are all interesting objects. There is also a glass hall where the sixth room lives in the wooden carved building group. The glass imported from Germany is only 2 mm thick and the craftsmanship is exquisite. ❤Recommended reason: Only two kilometers away from Hongcun, if you are tired of the crowds in Hongcun, you might as well stay in Lucun to enjoy the quiet. Strolling between the alleys of Lucun, because there are not many tourists, it is more suitable for a quiet and leisurely holiday choice. Find a homestay in an old house, order a cup of tea, hold a thick book, and it's very comfortable. Lucun has a history of thousands of years, the road surface of hemp stone slabs, and the life under the white walls and gray tiles accompanied by streams, is still continuing. 🎫Scenic area ticket: 50 yuan 🕙Opening hours: 07:30-17:30 📍Detailed address: Lucun, Hongcun Town, Yi County, Huangshan City, Anhui Province 🚉Travel strategy: You can take a local tricycle to Lucun, but it is recommended to walk.
